arch-autoinstall.sh was missing the keymap handling added to the guided
installer in the previous two commits, so booting the ISO in auto mode
(answerfile embedded) never called loadkeys and left the installed system
with no /etc/vconsole.conf.
- Add the same KEYMAPS array + selection logic to arch-autoinstall.sh
(AF mode reads .keymap, interactive mode prompts)
- Call loadkeys and export KEYMAP into the chroot
- Write /etc/vconsole.conf inside the chroot
- Add keymap dialog to generate-answerfile.sh so the field is populated
- Document .keymap in the arch-autoinstall.sh answerfile field list

tui-install.sh:
- Reads /answerfile.json if present (ANSWERFILE_MODE)
- All dialog selections (components, DE, apps) sourced from file
- Hostname from answerfile gets MAC address suffix appended to
prevent conflicts when deploying one image to multiple machines
- Interactive hostname inputbox added to the normal TUI flow
- Colorway dialog added as final step; skipped if no colors differ
from defaults and no answerfile colors are set
- Answerfile mode: runs non-interactively, logs warnings on failure
generate-answerfile.sh (new):
- Dry-runs the full installer dialog flow (OS + dotfiles)
- Writes selections to ~/answerfile.json (or a given path)
- No software is installed; passwords are never written to the file
build.sh:
- New --preconf [FILE] flag embeds an answerfile into the ISO at
/answerfile.json; omitting the flag leaves the ISO clean
- Validates JSON with jq if available before embedding
- Reworked arg parsing to handle the new flag alongside OUT_DIR
